Tip #76: Enrolling and Removing Students from a Course

Tip: You can enroll students, remove students, and limit a dropped student’s access

NOTE: Official university student rosters can be obtained from WebAdvisor and compared with Blackboard rosters.

Enrolling a student: You can enroll students who are on the official university student rosters but not on the Blackboard roster.

Removing students from a course: You can remove students who are not enrolled in the course per your WebAdvisor roster.
